Warning Issued on Use of Mineral Oil In Bodies of Aged ay BELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New0 York (U.R) Three sci entists have put up a red flag on the introduction of mineral oil and other oily substances into the human body in the aged, the debilitated, and in other persons with poor reflexes, they can lead to lipoid pneu monia, a comparatively newly oily infiltrations into the lungs. s New Volunteers Are 0 Listed in Fund Raising Drive Several new workers have volunteered for the Rogue Val ley Memorial hospital fund-raising campaign, according to cam paign officials. Walter G. Garner, chairman ft charge of the general organ ization soliciting subscriptions, said attendance, at daily report breakfasts a? the Elks club show "the spirit of service and deter mination .that spurs the hospital organization to obtain a great modern hospital which will help make Jackson county a great medical center." Some 207 volunteer workers have been attending the break fasts. May Contact Headquarters Campaign headquarters . o n Bartlett st. noted that it is not possible for workers to visit all residents who could subscribe to the construction fund.

Beranbaum demonstrated with 440 consecutive autopsies at the St. Barnabas Hospital for Chronic Diseases in New York, an incidence of more than 10 per cent. The patients had been de bilitated and most were aged. Autopsy revealed that in 47, lipoid pneumonia had been a contributing cause of death. "In more than half the cases the probable etiologic-causing agent was mineral oil," the sci entists said in their report to the Medical Society of the State of New York. "In 28 there was a history of repeated attacks of pneumonitis or definite broncho pneumonia. Oily Substances Dangerous "It would seem advisable that ingestion or instillations of oily material in the aged or debili tated should be discontinued." But they were also against the use of such oily substances as nose drops and metholated petro leum jelly in the "upper respira tory passages." Moreover, when it is necessary to feed infants and the debilitated by tube, min eral oil shouldn't be applied to the, tube, they said it shouldn't even be put on the dry lips of de bilitated patients. Droplets of oil enter the lungs through the upper air passages. Because mineral oil is "bland and non-irritating," it produces little or no cough reflex, they said. This reflex would expel it from the air passages. Hence, the red flag as regards persons with poor reflexes and the im plied warning , that, oily sub stances deserve suspicion. Disease Stages Shown In their microscopic examina tions of lungs showing lipoid pneumonia, they demonstrated several stages of the disease. In the cases where the oily infiltra tion had been going on for a long time, they found that the cut sutfaces of the tissue had "a characteristic appearance." "It is smooth and fairly solid, and the color is yellowish white, canary yellow, or orange yel low," they reported. "Frequent ly these infiltrated yellow areas are found in more or less con fluent patches. When the cut surface is scraped with a knife, many oily droplets are noted." The first report of lipoid pneu monia in human beings was made only in 1925, although Eu ropean scientists had produced it experimentally in animals by injecting oil substances into their wind pipes. In 1943 Dr. W.. J. Sweeney reported 264 cases.
